Be it known that I, JULIUs L. LUBELL, a citizen of the Unlted States,and resldent of the county of the Bronx, in thecity and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ChildrensGarments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in and relating to childrensgarments, and has for its object to provide such a garment which may beworn with or without a coat and which may have the appearance of a waistor blouse and vest as desired.

A further object is to provide such a gar ment adapted to have theappearance of a vest, which will support the trousers in the ordinaryway with such garments, and at the same time have a neat and dressy appearance.

With these and other objects in view, my invention consists of the noveldetails of construction, arrangement and combination of partshereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the garment withcoat removed and having the appearance of a blouse; Fig. 2 is a similarview with coat on; Fig. 3 is a view with coat on and having theappearance of a Vest; Fig. 4 is a detail front view of the garment; andFig. 5 is a detail rear view of the garment.

Similar reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views.

Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to Fig. 1, theinvention comprises an upper garment 1 to which is buttoned or otherwisesecured a lower garment or trousers 2, and a coat 3 is provided whichmay or may not be worn as desired. The upper garment l is preferablybuttoned down the front by means'of the buttons 4 in the usual way, butthese buttons may if desired be merely ornamental or dispensed with ifdesired and the garment buttoned at the rear or at some other portion ofthe same. Slightly above the lower edge of the garment 1 the buttons 5are provided, to which are attached the trousers portion 2. The twoinnermost front buttons 5 are spaced apart as shown in Fig. 4, and a cutout portion 6 provided between the same, the side edges of which extendslightly above the buttons 5 and to the line of the top of the trousers12. The top edge 8 of the cut out portion is cut to represent the loweredge of a vest, the portion 9 formed thereby being adapted to be leftinside the top band of the trousers as shown in F igs.'1 and 2 torepresent a blouse, or laid outside the trousers to represent a vest asshown in Fig. 3, when the coat is worn. Upwardly extending notches 10and 11 are provided at the ends of the edge 8 to allow the portion 9 tolie smoothly.

It will be readily seen that with this invention a garment is providedwhich may be worn upon numerous different occasions and have theappearance at such times of a dif ferent suit if desired.

I have illustrated preferred and satisfactory forms of my invention, butit is obvious that changes may be made therein without departing fromthe spirit and scope thereof, except as may be required by the claims.
